"Honestly, my son turns up in the middle of the night and asks for a massage, and then I fall asleep. I imagine that’s what marriage is like?"

The blonde star went on to say that despite being a parent, she was fully committed to her relationships when in them and even went so far as to say that she felt love-making was an important part of every partnership.

"As my mom always said, sex is a gauge of your relationship, so if you have a good relationship you should be having sex regularly," said Jones.

"Even if you’re angry or you’ve been together for a million and five years. You have to force yourself to have that physical connection."

And when it comes to making that sex good? All it takes is a healthy dose of self confidence, says January.

"Being comfortable with your body," she added.

The actress also revealed that she feels women often became more comfortable and confident in their bodies and accordingly their sex lives as they matured.

"I don’t know about men, but for women I think that comes with age - knowing and loving yourself,” she said.

"When I was younger, I wouldn’t ask for things I knew I wanted because I was insecure. And everybody’s different, so guys don’t know what’s going to work. But hopefully now I’m more comfortable with my body and my sexuality."
